Morning Medieval Miscellany

I know, I know ... I promised to leave these MMMs to Karma and Rivkah until my new computer arrives, but I'm on Spring Break and can't help myself!

Weird News has the Top 10 Inventions of the Middle Ages. I'd have put the printing press at number 1 if it were me, and as long as you're going to have concepts like "quarantine" on there, why not "universities" growing out of the monastic movements? h/t Ninalog

Archaeology in Europe has an update that is mostly ancient and classical, but has a bit of medievalia in there too.
